Even though I am sick, I read this book in a day. Had I felt better I would have finished it in half a day. I love True Crime and this book, even though entirely fiction, reads as that genre.

Saffaron and Ansley both grew up in foster care. One rises through the ranks of the NYHP, the other is on death row. This book goes through the last day of Ansley's life. It looks at all the women, who have taken some part in his life. 

It is heart wrenching, realistic and shows the choices we make in our life ultimately define us. I would pass it if you like happy endings, or genres other than suspense, crime, or true crime. ‼️There is violence toward women‼️

😊 Happy Reading 📚😊
